South Carolina Senate poll shows surprising frontrunner: Trey Gowdy

A new South Carolina Senate poll shows former congressman Trey Gowdy as a surprising frontrunner for the seat being vacated by late Senator Lindsey Graham, despite Gowdy's stated lack of interest in the race. Gowdy leads a competitive field that includes Trump-endorsed candidate Darline Graham among other contenders. The poll results suggest Gowdy maintains significant political appeal in the state even without actively campaigning.
